Hematopathology 2021

In addition to detailed coverage of hematopoietic lesions, the Masters of Pathology Series — Hematopathology online CME program delivers case-based presentations focused on interpretation of ancillary test results. Lectures in this continuing medical education course include:

• A Quick Guide to Common Low-Grade B-cell Lymphomas. Diagnosis of the most common low-grade B-cell lymphomas is fairly straightforward and can be done using an algorithmic approach incorporating first morphologic findings followed by immunohistochemical findings.
• I Found Hodgkin Cells! A brief overview of Hodgkin lymphoma and the various subtypes including morphologic and phenotypic findings.
• MDS/MPN Overlap Syndromes – A Quick Review for the General Pathologist. While these syndromes are relatively uncommon in relation to other myeloid neoplasms, their recognition is important. Classification is facilitated by following the relatively specific diagnostic criteria outlined in the WHO classification.
• Non-GI Extranodal T-cell Lymphomas. A heterogeneous group of disorders with variable morphologic and immunophenotypic characteristics, in which the integration with the clinical presentation is important to achieve an accurate diagnosis.
• And more!

Learning Objectives

After viewing this program, the participant will be better able to:

• Be familiar with benign/reactive conditions involving lymph node and how to avoid over-interpreting these as malignant
• Understand the design and application of the 2017 WHO classification of hematopoietic neoplasms
• Review the current understanding of mechanism of disease for hematopoietic neoplasms
• Be familiar with ancillary testing needed to make complete and clinically meaningful diagnoses in hematopathology

Intended Audience

The program is designed both for pathologists including residents and fellows, hematology oncologists, and hematopathologists.
